These triplets have beaten odds of 200 million-to-one to be born completely identical – but their mum says she has no trouble telling them apart. Roman, Rocco and Rohan Tierney are 10-months-old, and “completely thriving”.
Mum Becki-Jo Allen, 23, from Gateacre, Liverpool, was about nine weeks pregnant when she found out she was expecting not one but three bundles of joy.
She said: “I had been being very sick and had a really bad headache so I booked an early scan and that was when I found out I was expecting triplets.“It was the biggest shock of my life! “We haven’t got any triplets in the family so it came completely out of the blue.”
The three boys, who have a big sister, three-year-old Indiana, were born when Becki-Jo was just 31 weeks pregnant and spent their first six weeks in intensive care at Liverpool Women’s Hospital.
After being told how similar they looked by other mums, she sent off samples of DNA to be tested – and she has now been told that against odds of up to an incredible 200 million to one, the naturally conceived trio are identical.
